Content Warning: Anxiety/Mental Health

Anxiety is something that many of us struggle with... now more than ever! Between what's going on in the world, what's going on in our personal lives, and what our brain is telling us on the day-to-day... it can be a lot to handle!

From two girls with a lot of first-hand experience in this arena, we wanted to create an episode to share with you all of the different techniques we've found to help ease anxiety symptoms. We talk through so many different approaches including mental visualizations, breathwork, physical movement, essential oils, cute dog videos, and everything in between.

Anything we discuss in this episode is safe to use (especially in moderation) so feel free to try it out at home! We are sending you all of the virtual hugs and lots of extra coziness because we know how uncomfortable anxiety can be. Just know that we are all in this together and everything will be okay. Enjoy the episode and please let us know if you find any of these strategies to work for you!

*Disclaimer: Everything we discuss in this episode is based on our personal points of view and experiences. Everyone experiences and copes with anxiety and mental health issues differently. The methods we discuss are not a "cure" or medicinal by any means. Every strategy may not work for everyone.

*Additionally, we are not medical professionals, so any resources we mentioned are, again, based on personal experience with trial and error. If you do find yourself in a space where you need support, please seek professional medical assistance.

Welcome back to ReDIScover! Today is Part 2 of "Spring Cleaning Month" and we are having a discussion about tidying up more of an emotionally-based space.

Join us today for a heart-to-heart style conversation all about the concept of Cultivating Happiness.

Happiness is a topic that sparks curiosity and deep analysis for both of us. Just to give you a preview of the episode, we discussed things such as external circumstances vs. inner reality, becoming aware of how you talk to yourself, inherent worthiness, and the concept of "being content." We also noticed that our spiritual and happiness journeys often correlate, so this episode has a large spiritual component!

This is definitely one of ReDIScover's higher-level conversation episodes and we hope it opens the door for your own self-discovery! Ultimately, we've found that happiness comes down to perspective, choice, and finding joy in the little things. So, enjoy the ride and happy listening!

Happy March, everyone! We have titled this month's theme on ReDIScover "Spring Cleaning" and to kick things off, we have a very special episode for you! Today's episode is all about cleaning up your thoughts and your mind with deliberate manifesting.

We talk about Law of Attraction and Manifesting on ReDIScover quite frequently, so we thought it would be an amazing opportunity to invite Amy Westmoreland, a Professional Manifesting Coach and Expert, on the show to teach us more about this magical concept.

Jess is extremely passionate about Manifestation, while Kristen is more of a beginner. We both have to say that this episode was absolutely mind-blowing. We covered everything from manifesting money to relationships to a rainbow.

We asked Amy questions to de-bunk some stereotypical manifesting "myths" such as: "does manifesting conflict with my religious beliefs?" or "is manifesting an inherently selfish practice?" Her insight was so clarifying!

We also dove into techniques on how to actually manifest in our own lives. Amy gives you her four-step process (1. Focus 2. Believe 3. Release Resistance and 4. Detach) so you can try this on your own at home!

We talk about manifesting spiritually, we talk about it scientifically… it ultimately comes down to getting your conscious mind to the belief that "all things are possible." We are excited for you to join us for this eye-opening episode and hope you have fun learning something new!

Welcome back to ReDIScover! This week, we're continuing on with our month-long exploration of all things Love & Relationships with an episode dedicated to growing in seasons of Singleness.

Whether you're newly single, feeling like you're caught in a perpetuating cycle, or thriving in your single life, we've broken down the stages of Singleness. We've highlighted each with grace, mindfulness practices, and our favorite ways to show ourselves true care and faithful love.

This is definitely an emotional episode; the journey to feel empowered in singleness is not always linear, and is almost never easy. However, we're here to offer the truth of our experience in the hopes that you will find new and impactful ways to feel joyful and free in this season that really is all about you. Enjoy!

*CONTENT WARNING: Medical Content/Health Issues/Bodily Functions*

Welcome back to ReDIScover! This week, we're wrapping up our January deep-dive into physical health and wellness by giving you some insight into our own personal wellness journeys.

In the past, you may have heard us talk about toxic mold exposure, adverse vaccine reactions, digestive issues, and mental health battles. So, this is the episode that gives you the full description. We're getting really vulnerable here; these have truly been some of the darker moments in our stories.

We are so grateful to have ReDIScover as a safe place to share this with you in the hopes that you might find some encouragement and solidarity in our experiences.

*If you are triggered by conversations surrounding bodily functions and illness, we encourage you to use discretion while listening.*

*Disclaimer - we are not medical professionals, so any resources we mentioned are based on personal experience with trial and error. We both found healing through holistic and integrative medicine modalities, but we understand this may not resonate with everyone. We are not claiming our perceptions to be universally "true" or "correct," they are merely experiential.

January Wellness Month is officially in full swing! This week we wanted to bring on someone who professionally specializes in wellness as her life's work - Ali Bourgerie!

Ali is a certified nutritionist who focuses mainly on holistic nutrition. She builds relationships with each individual client, taking time to understand their unique microbiome, interests, activities, and health goals/concerns in order to start them on a path to a healthier lifestyle, more energy, and total wellness.

Her philosophy is to tune in to your body, keep things simple, and choose to consume as many whole foods as possible! The human body is capable of some truly amazing things when fueled properly.

This episode was so much fun because not only did we get to pick Ali's brain, but Jess has personally worked with Ali as a client in her 1 on 1 coaching program during the toughest portion of her health journey. This episode truly serves as a live testimonial for all that Ali and her business, Shifting Nutrition, has to offer.
